Comparing yourself to others breeds negative self-talk, feelings of envy and low self-confidence. You were created to develop your own style, cultivate your own talents and achieve your own successes in life.

Authentic people stand out in crowd. They don’t try to impress you and yet, we’re intrigued by their self-assurance, warmth and poise. Do men see you as genuine ... or do they see you as pretentious, self-protecting and emotionally unavailable?

You don’t have to be who you were yesterday. You can achieve your goals—if you think about it continuously, believe in it passionately, and work relentlessly toward your aspirations—your hopes and dreams will one day materialize.

When you compare yourself to others, you will always find someone who will make you feel inferior. Comparing yourself to others fuels your insecurities, damages your motivation, crushes your spirit and creates envy and resentment.

It’s the holidays and you feel utterly and miserably alone without a man in your life. Christmas music depresses you. Cold weather isolates you. Holiday gatherings intensify your aloneness. You need friends, happy hour and parties to fill your holiday void because you don’t know how to be alone and enjoy your own company.
